    I hear it all the time. People say, “I want the Truth!”. The funny thing is that they act all surprised or something when the demanded truth is not forthcoming.

    They say (with great and righteous fervor) to known or suspected miscreants, “Confess the truth and seek forgiveness for the crime!

    You say you want the truth? Okay then, here’s the true truth (and truer words were never spoken) . The truth is that aversion to the truth is what makes them miscreants in the first place. Miscreants don’t confess the truth until all other alternatives are exhausted.

    If they confessed the truth then that would signal they are taking an important first step toward no longer being miscreant.

    So don’t hold your breath while awaiting the full confession and with it their remorseful surrender to the justice which truth engenders. There are still plenty of alternatives they haven’t even tried yet (at least not in public).

    There probably isn’t a square foot of livable land anywhere in the world that wasn’t at one point in history invaded by a conqueror who displace, killed and subjugated the original inhabitants. We ALL have been born onto stolen land. It’s gone back and forth between these two populations pretty much nonstop for millennia. You may not have personally conquered, displaced or killed anyone, but the dirt you’re standing on and call your own once belonged to someone else who at the time that it was forcibly taken from them felt about their land about the same way that you think and feel about “your own” home now.

    The point is that (through no fault of our own) we’re all here now, so we need to learn how to get along without all this conquering and killing and subjugating stuff. It just doesn’t work.

    Contrary to standard issue conspiracy theory that the FEMA Camps were built to round up us citizens when the time came, I wonder if FEMA built all that housing for migrants (our replacement population, especially for military and policing jobs), and that using the camps for large scale migrant staging and deployment was the explicit plan all along. If so, it suggests a far longer and much more detail specific planning and preparation than was earlier assumed.

    The world of business & politics, money & power, is SWIFTLY coming to the conclusion that the West (Anglo-Saxon America in particular) is going to lose. That’s a really big change, and I mean really REALLY big, because up until quite recently the sum-total opinion worldwide was that the West held all the cards, and it’s pragmatically foolish to ignore the compelling reality of siding with the winner, and dumping the loser. That discomforting political fact explains about 90% of why countries and blocs were still backing the West even though they actually hated the Anglo-Saxon-American Empire’s guts.

    As various groups and nations become ever more certain that THE WEST IS GOING TO LOSE, those self same nations will do what they have to do if they are in any way capable of doing it. What they are going to do is to side with the winner and dump the loser.

    That shock is yet to be felt, but the ax is falling as we speak and is at best maybe a few months away from our collective neck. The Anglo-Saxon American Great Western Empire of Lies and Murder better prepare to have a lot fewer friends than it thought it had. Even false ones.

    I just have to wonder why a super rich, super famous, super talented, super handsome, world class athletic celebrity like Shohei Ohtani, who is pulling down 70 million dollars per year in salary alone, would put all of that at risk with such a super dumb move as illegally betting for chump change . . . and not even covering his own tracks.

    I think there are serious things going seriously wrong in his real life, and the gambling was just a minor symptom. I mean, how much fun or profit was there, really, to be got from the gambling anyway? Pathetic. So another hero bites the dust because he didn’t understand how totally and deeply vile the game he is in truly is, and I don’t mean baseball. In that sense he was a naive bush leaguer playing in the Bigs, and his moral demise should come as no surprise.

    Lawyers don’t want you (or any legitimate entity) to win your case any more than typical doctors want you to be healthy. Victory would stop their paycheck. That’s the very essence of “lawfare” and public health initiatives. Same goes for Congress and your local School Board. They don’t get paid for things being A-Okay.

    How does it feel right now to those thousands of French soldiers about to be Frog Marched (pun intended) off to an unmarked grave in the mud of Eastern Ukraine?

    Do you think they are highly inclined and motivated to be sacrificed for LESS than nothing? More to the point, how likely is it that some of them will refuse to go, or switch to the winning side when they get there?

    Would any man in his right mind submit to being sent to die for the sole purpose of protecting the tender feelings and public reputation of a “President” who enjoys being anally raped by a transgender freak?

    Like it or not we have free will. If we use it to fuck up (or protect those who fuck up even worse than we do) then that’s on us. As are the all-too-predictable consequences therefrom. Victims are likely to want the fuckuppery to stop, immediately and with extreme prejudice, along with a dash or two of vengence thrown in for good measure.

    Don’t expect victims to make too fine of a distinction between one level of bad guy from another when it comes to the dishing out of consequences, either. More likely and more often the application of consequences will be a matter of busy people making swift decisions, like the mantra of Army and Marine Viet Nam War assault troops, of “Kill ’em all, and let God sort ’em out.”

    Like the way @CelticBiker feels about Jews.

    When someone (or anyone, or practically EVERYone) tries to persuade you that it is ever a right action to do the wrong thing, then you can rest 100% assured that the one or ones telling you that are stark staring mad.

    Clearly, to any rational being, it is NEVER “right” to do something wrong, by simple definition of what those two words mean. That doesn’t suggest that you should enforce the death penalty upon everyone who does something wrong. It just means that wrong is not right, and that one should deeply beware the lunatics who try to convince or trick others into thinking otherwise.

    Religionists are prone to preach that what they say and write is Divine (the literal word of God, written down and vouched by holy persons) and that therefore I should believe that it is true. I come at that judgement from a much different direction. I tend much more toward the viewpoint that if something is true, and is proven by me or to me or is known to me as being true based upon my own best ability to discern true from false, then in that case, and because it is true, then it is Divine.

    That TASS news item was from 30 Oct 2021, so I just gotta wonder how it got back into circulation as news all the way up here in March 2024 (that’s a 2 1/2 year time gap). I’m not saying that Putin is clean or anything. I’m just sayin’.

    If some of the things that I’ve written on this forum since 2013 or so have struck you as being particularly true or useful, then good. That’s all that I wanted, and it’s also the only thing that anyone needs from me. All the rest of the stuff I’ve commented over that surprisingly long span of years were just the kind of debris that always seems to wind up on the shop floor and scrap pile no matter how efficient and tidy I try to be.

    @Dr. D: I had precisely the same reaction-

    ‘“My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways.” – Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
    That must be the most epic quote since the Republic was founded. No LITERALLY that was the whole POINT of the 1st Amendment.’ “

    The implications to be drawn from this inadvertent exposure of the MINDSET which prevails within virtually the ENTIRETY of government cannot, should not be overlooked or ignored. Justice Brown (and everyone around her) actually does BELIEVE that the government, just the government itself, is the thing which must be protected and sustained.

    Sorry if this seems so obvious that I’m being silly for mentioning it as though it were some deep insight that only the wise can see. It’s just that Supreme Court Justice Brown revealed SO much in so few words, on such a quintessentially important issue as the question of what the government and the First Amendment exist FOR in the first place.

    A wonderful and not fully foreseen thing happens when the mental and physical capacity of human beings is directed by truth filled thinking toward beneficially successful activities, rather than deceitful thinking used to incompetently strive for truly horribly disastrous results. The resources wasted on doing things wrongly (and thus unsuccessfully) would become available to be put into service producing beneficial things.

    Not only would there be LESS bad things. There would be MORE good things. Not only LESS failure, but MORE success. Not LESS workable endeavors (i.e. inefficiency and failure), but projects and objectives that were MORE workable because they would be based on truth and workability, and thus lead to success.

    Not only would people spend LESS time coping with fear and stress and hopeless despair in an endless effort to avoid being destroyed in a criminally insane environment, but they would have MORE time and resources to invest in the good and useful things that they love and which will actually improve their lives.

    I’m talking about a self-reinforcing (and mutually reinforcing) positive feedback loop of second order exponential proportions. Like when an exponent is itself an exponent. Like X squared to the X squared power.

    What if even HALF of the man hour spent on war and crime had instead been spent growing healthy food and teaching our children how to be wise and good? How much good work would that amount to?
    8 thousand billion man hours (give or take) in just the past year alone?

    In other words, when the resources spent on LIES are re-directed to TRUTH, things don’t just “get better”. The “get better” BETTER. You see what I mean.

    Man, am I ever ready for THAT.

    Re Nicole Shanahan

    That girl is a straight-up honey pot hot stuff ho-spy (albeit a high class good looking one) of the Cabal (Zionist, CCP, CIA). Based on her resume’ and statistics I reckon that she’s one their best, too. And not just hot stuff, either. Dangerous stuff. If RFK, Jr does choose her then he’s as good as compost if he gets elected. Those Kennedys better up their game if they keep insisting on playing in the Bigs with their eyes closed. What will the score be when Bobby Jr meets an untimely end? Cabal 5 Kennedy’s 0 ?

    The invisible bottleneck in AI is not the hardware and software. It is the data. AI systems require almost incomprehensibly vast streams of data in order to interact with an ever changing real environment. Any exponential increase in AI functionality will of necessity require even MORE exponentially vast increases of raw data input.

    That can’t happen, because the hardware and software requirements for gathering and directing the increased data gathering and processing will always (indeed MUST) become larger and more demanding at a rate that is exponentially faster than the AI hardware and software can grow its ability to manage the increasing data flow.

    I don’t think there’s any way around that math. For example, consider how many TRILLIONS of man hours, dollars and data bits that it has consumed so far, just to reach the pathetically clunky, delicate, error prone and fantastically EXPENSIVE AI/Robotic crap that is SOOOO bad that it can only be “showcased” by stage magicians using heavily edited video and seriously manipulated simulations?

    I call bullshit on the whole AI claptrap dog and pony show. That shit don’t work for shit, and its only getting worse. It’s a scam, folks. A bubble. A con.

    I can’t really see what’s so appealing about RFK Jr’s VP pick Nicole Shanahan Other than being a beautiful billionaire Chinese spy with a successful side hustle of fucking multi-billionaire Tech Tycoons, and who’s grandfather’s family owned Macau, China, she’s just another plain vanilla no-where girl who raised herself up from food stamps and waitressing to become the richest VP Candidate in American history, and the youngest, too, by a healthy spread of 25 years.( Kamala Harris, at age 59 has been the youngest so far).

    The reason that the Cabal/Blob foment so many wars, tell so many lies want so many slaves and murder so many people is that they literally CANNOT operate their enterprise without those things. In fact, their enterprise literally IS those things. It’s how they make a living and stay on top. Since they can’t stop without suffering IMMEDIATE justice and ABSOLUTE poverty they choose to continue those things (wars, lies, slavery and killing) as hard as is necessary in order to keep the scam going. Hence their propensity to double down whenever they suffer failures. Hence the highly noticeable consequence being that the failures (the failed CRIMES) becoming larger and more frequent.

    The size, intensity and frequency of these failures are the MEASURE of how close the actual end of the long foreseen end is getting to be.

    With Ukraine, Israel and the Dollar all set to finally fail utterly by the end of Summer I reckon that by the time the 2024 National so-called Elections roll around in Late Fall it will be “curtain down” for the Anglo/Saxon/Khazarian Empire, and the rise of something else.

    Here is the TYPE of stuff we were talking about on TAE round about the time that the current crop of trolls showed up. We were sort of working our way back through the evidence to figure out not just “who” was wrecking the world, but also “how” and “why” they were wrecking it. TAE was coming up with some good stuff in that investigation, too.

    Here’s an example of what I wrote back in that day:
    “One of the things that makes the vax lovers’ renunciation of reality so difficult to comprehend resides in one’s own failure to see that the vax lovers are locked into a HORRIBLE condition colloquially known as Stockholm Syndrome. Few understand that condition very well, which is in itself remarkable because the condition is extremely simple in its mechanism.

    Basically Stockholm Syndrome is adoption . . . by the victim . . . of devoted loyalty to their antagonist as a last ditch effort to survive. The instinct-level subconscious calculation is that if they (the victim) are truly, fully and totally loyal and servile then the feared antagonist would have no reason to kill them. The only way to make this subterfuge undetectable as a lie is to make it NOT a lie. If the devoted loyalty is true and factual then the antagonist won’t detect it as fabrication. The antagonist might even see the victim as useful, and therefore let them live, or even reward the sincere loyalty with gifts and good treatment.

    And so, to save themselves from predicted demise at the hands of an all-powerful deadly antagonist, victims literally and actually change their own minds, changes their own BELIEF systems, to match what they believe their antagonistic owner desires. They choose happy slavery in the instinctually compulsive hope that such will prevent unhappy death.

    Unfortunately, the worst of the worst antagonists (the real PROFESSIONALS) are fully aware of how this phenomenon works, and gleefully strive to INDUCE Stockholm Syndrome in the people that they wish to enslave and exploit. More than one Mass Formation based psychosis on the large scale has been done in precisely this manner. Like the one we are in now.

    Side Note & Advice : Increased demonization of the evil antagonist does not usually help. In fact, proving the antagonist to be diabolical usually makes the condition WORSE, by making the antagonist appear to be more dangerous than they already seem. Making the antagonist (who the victim already fears to be a demented psychopathic killer) just drives the victim to INCREASE their demonstrations of absolute devotion to them.

    And in those who are persuaded to hate the antagonist and seek to destroy them it doesn’t help much either. They want revenge, punishment, DESTRUCTION of those “evil doers” . Well, it’s not hard to see where that’s going to wind up. It winds up in the pursuit of POWER. You might as well pursue corruption directly (like a Satanist, warlord or serial killer) because power and corruption and HELL itself are pretty close to one and the same thing. Ever see a war that wasn’t followed up shortly thereafter by another war?

    The only workable solution is the excruciatingly slow and exceedingly painful process of educating oneself , and all of the OTHER victims of Stockholm Syndrome, into greater and greater awareness that the antagonist’s feared “power” is nothing more (and I do mean NOTHING more) than their desire and capacity to persuade other people to do bad things to other people in order to avoid other people doing bad things to them for the same reason.

    The whole damned mess is a self-perpetuating “spiralistic” descent into madness. To strive for material victory by somehow overpowering the antagonist is an open invitation to Hell. The ONLY way out is the painful acquisition and sharing of awareness of truth. And a good place to start that process is to start increasing how aware you are of what is REALLY going on all around you . . . no matter how scared it makes you feel as awareness grows. . . and sharing that awareness with others instead of seeking to reduce your own fear by increasing theirs.”

    Other TAE commentators were chipping in, each in their own way, and the outlines of the “Cabal” (or “Blob” as is currently in vogue). Not the sort of stuff that the Cabal/Blob likes being discussed freely.

    No problem for me in any case. All are welcome. If you’re a Troll then troll away! We learn so much about you when you do.

    An entity (such as a political Party, big shot politician or even an entire Sovereign City) is as powerful and “sovereign” as it can keep it’s secrets and avoid successful prosecution for real crimes.

    All that’s necessary to take one down is to release it’s secrets and allow natural justice to take place. The FIRST sign to look for, then, is the release of it’s secrets (like leaked phone calls, sexual scandals, and incontrovertibly documented malfeasance). When you see that then you know that the hammer is already not merely being swung, it is striking its target. Justice comes next. And after that, the physical imposition of reality.

    You know, my crack about the Blob losing control of Washington, D.C. was made half in jest . . . . but only half. The other half was serious. When the OTHER key legally incorporated “Sovereign” Cities” (especially City of London, Vatican, and Basel) start losing the sovereign immunities which have enabled them to operate with total impunity and untouchable position out of reach from the long arm of the law, the END is indeed nigh.

    When the American Empire loses it’s ability to steal from other countries then it’s last remaining target to steal from will be it’s own citizens ( YOU ). That too is untenable, because you don’t have enough trillions to continue feeding that beast to the level to which it has become accustomed (and cannot live without.)

    I just finished that Garland Nixon- Scott Ritter live stream. Summary: all those things about Ukraine falling are pretty much ditto for Israel, with a few minor name changes.

    If you’ve been wondering about the finer details of TEOTWAWKI, well, now you’ve got a few more details. As Israel continues to collapse, so will the United States influence on all the Middle East. There goes the other half of the Western Empire. From 60 to Zero in about 6 months flat (give or take) starting the count-down now.

    I don’t think that the Cabal is (or every was) as strong as they have always liked to imagine themselves to be. The reason they thought they were stronger is that their flunkies and minions have been lying to them for years and centuries. That’s what you’ve got to do to survive in a slave state. There are things that you don’t tell to the boss. So the Boss winds up “knowing” a bunch of shit that ain’t true (like “We’re winning in Ukraine”, or “We’re really loyal to you, Boss!”).

    Israel CANNOT win. Ukraine CANNOT win. The Dollar CANNOT win. AGI CANNOT win (Hell, it doesn’t even EXIST) .The American-centric Military Industrial Complex CANNOT win. And thus the Cabal CANNOT win. That falling line of Dominoes CANNOT be prevented from going down, and the first domino looks like it’s going to be Ukraine (It’s a close race), which will be gone by the end of Summer.

    I’m just trying to trace that arc in fine enough detail that the predictions are useful to someone, but the key takeaway in any case is that this series of effects is extremely tangible, real and concrete. Nothinbg abstract about it.

    When Ukraine falls, Europe will HAVE TO play ball the way that the Russians tell them to. That means the USA will no longer be ruling Europe, which basically means that the USA’s empire just shrank by more than half. Virtually INSTANTLY, speaking in geofinancial/political terms and timeframes.

    Everyone in the world is going to adjust to that new reality as fast as they possibly possibly can to protect their own asses.

    Those adjustments will not be beneficial to the financial, political or geographical interests of America.

    I should add a few observational points to that link I just posted to the Garland Nixon-Scott Ritter interview.

    The key word in all of this is “REALITY”. None of this is conjectural or abstract. Ukraine is falling and there is insufficient force in all of Europe and America to break that fall. The Russians will move forward to wherever THEY (the Russians themselves alone) choose to move, and there isn’t anything anyone can do that could stop them.

    Serious stuff, and as real as those eyes that you’re reading these words with.

    My apologies for not chipping in to the general conversation much in the past few days, but I HAVE been on the job and will chip in when the job is done. Meanwhile, here is a live stream between Garland Nixon and Scott Ritter which (if you listen carefully and very very logically) will tell you all you need to know about the real on-the-ground situation in Ukraine, and by extension Europe. Wow. No wonder Macron is shitting his pants.
